4.0 out of 5 stars
interesting for librarians,
This review is from: The Amazing Internet Challenge: How Leading Projects Use Library Skills to Organize the Web (Paperback)
A wide variety of information specialists will benefit from "The Amazing Internet Challenge". In the words of the editors, "Whether developing a system from scratch or working to establish cooperative networks, anyone involved with organizing information on the Internet will find knowledge and inspiration in the experiences of these projects." The chapters are well written and organized. Readers can easily flip to particular sections is each chapter to compare how projects handled some aspect, or can read through and hear all about each project in turn. I found it fascinating to read about the history of how each of these services developed. It took me right back to my own early experiences with my library's gopher server, learning to use Unix and create gopher menus. Then we shifted over to the web, studying up on HTML and how to use graphics. The chapters of "The Amazing Internet Challenge" will inspire those who are just entering this exciting world of information access. Hearing about the successful experiences of others will also inspire those currently in the field. It is always pleasant to hear about projects that work and that provide valuable services to users. With web-based virtual libraries, these users can be anywhere in the world, expanding the possible user base enormously.

What a shocker...,
By Luis E. Molina "Deadly Penguin" (Where in the world are any of us?) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Amazing Internet Challenge: How Leading Projects Use Library Skills to Organize the Web (Paperback)
I'll admit, at first I was skeptical about reading this book, but once I opened it I could not put this page-turner down!
I laughed, I cried, I even made a meal while being captivated by this book. I would put this somewhere in between the Bible and Howard Stern's Private Parts. SPOILER ALERT!!! Jaw-dropping conclusion when everyone but the heroine dies in the end and she comforts herself with a bowl of ice cream. Personally, I would have chosen Vanilla - but I'm a dessert snob like that.
